I don't think this procedure would have help in my situation. I had a database server crash (while doing backups) and the log was corrupted. Tried to do a detach and it detached but with an error so niether of the sp_attach_db procs would work. I would up setting the database to emergency mode and coying all the objects to a new database. However, all transactions for 10 hours before teh crash were gone. I would have expected all transactions to have been flushed to disk by then.
